Salivary glands which produce saliva, exhibit variety of diseases ranging from infection, painful obstructions, benign and malignant tumors. Sialolithiasis is one of the most common disorder of the salivary gland which is characterized by typical history of pain and /or swelling during meals and may compromise gland function. In present times, various imaging modalities are available in a Clinicians armamentarium for easy diagnostics, each having its own advantages and demerits. For small and accessible stones conservative therapies like milking of ducts with palliative therapies produce satisfactory result whereas large and inaccessible stones require surgical management which include procedures that are expensive, time consuming and complicated and may lead to loss of gland function with troublesome sequelae such as xerostomia. In this paper we present 3 cases of sialolithiasis in submandibular gland along with brief review on existing literature.
